Broken latch...where to buy?

[shear]

So I just noticed that a latch is missing from my camper and I'm curious where to get more? I think I'm going to upgrade all of them since it seems that the hardware is cheap and is falling apart. Any help?

Thanks!

I like the look of these: http://www.ebay.com/itm/304-Stainless-Steel-Toggle-Latch-Industrial-Grade-Adjustable-Polished/181819509645?_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D34859%26meid%3De36b33ecfc7d43d39075e4e5ad9f4a3f%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D4%26rkt%3D6%26sd%3D151502398594

I may upgrade myself.

Several of mine are looking bad, they are stamped "Nielson Sessions" so I looked them up:

Nielson Sessions Latch link

Nielson Sessions Catalog Link

McMaster-Carr also carries them, quite a bit more expensive.

Even cheaper, nice find.

Unfortunately you have to order at least $150 from these guys for them to ship.

Group Buy??

It seems to be FWC and ATC use some new type of latch. When I had my siding replaced a few years ago they mentioned that I had the "old style" and I didn't think to ask about the "new style". I suspect it's like the ebay link. I'd like to get some new ones myself. Not because mine aren't working but the adjustment is all the way out.

Pardon my ignorance but what is this type of latch used for?

The latches that hold the top of your camper down to the body of the camper. all on the outside.

I'd also do a group buy!
